4.9/5 (28274 ratings)

Description:At seventeen, pretty Janine Forel, living in a remote French village, received the thrill of her life - a letter from an American girl her own age. Joan Weston had found her name through a committee to aid French war victims, and wanted to be her friend. Joan not only wrote marvelous letters from PA, but sent food packages and the most glamorous clothes Janine had ever seen. Through months of correspondence, the lives of the two girls touched, merged, deepened into friendship. Janine could pour out her heart.It was a troubled heart, haunted by memories of the Nazi occupation. Conditions were better now, but nearly everyone was poor. Janine's family weren't too hungry-unless you counted emotional hunger. For years Janine had starved for news of her father, a hero of the Resistance. She never gave up hope that he was still in some prison camp and would ultimately be released.Janine wrote Joan about these hopes and dreams; they learned about one another's love affairs. Not that Janine had ever had a date alone (French girls were always chaperoned), but she wrote about handsome Alain Fayaud who worked in the mines. She thought about him with a mixture of fascination and contempt, for it was certain that Alain's father had been the collaborationist who had betrayed Janine's father to the Germans. She couldn't fall in love with a traitor's son- or could she? That was one secreat she wouldn't write Joan.No American had ever visited this "black country" of the mining industry, so when Joan arrived the entire village turned out to welcome her. She was blonde, beautiful, friendly-all that Janine had hoped. They lived in separate worlds, but they understood each other. Until Joan began to flirt with Alain; until she said, "I'm going to marry him..."Janine's story is a unique blend of romance, realism, and humor. The village people living in coal darkness are superbly portrayed. But is is Janine, haunted by horror, sustained by faith, who makes this novel unforgettable.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
